HMM! Three people and a baby. Not sure I'm ready for sad commentary today, but thanks for sharing it, anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy son didn't find it sad at all and was surprised I saw it that way. He saw hope and perseverance and happy endings. I'm not sure why we saw it so differently. Our ages, maybe?
DeleteThe trailer looked more positive--sad, but with redeeming qualities. I saw they have it on rental over on Netflix. Won't be high on my list but I put it on. :)
ReplyDeleteHe also directed "Perfect Blue" and "Paprika" if you're familiar with either of those. I like the way the Japanese don't relegate animated films to the children's market.
